He fils thy desires with what is good:* thy youth, like that of the eagle, shall be renewed.
The Lord is he who does mercy,* and does, iustice to those who suffer wrong.
The merciful and pitying Lord:* the long sufferer, and most mighty merciful.
He wil not continue his anger for ever;* neither wil he threaten for ever.
He has not dealt with us in proportion to our sins;* nor has he rendered unto us according to our offences.
Because according to the distance of heaven from earth,* so has he enforced his mercies, upon those who feare him.
As far distant as the east is from the west,* so far has he divided our offences from us.
After the manner that a Father takes pity of his sons; so has the Lord taken pity of those who feare him;* because he knows what we are made of.
He remembers that we are but dust. Man, like hay, such are his days;* like the flower in the field, so wil he fade away.
